I am upgrading the servers this week. The new Test Server and Download Server are already up and running. Next up I will move the War and Peace Servers and then back to working on updates!

This upgrade will require a new Xsyon Launcher. The new launcher will be available in the download section of your account page shortly. A notice will be posted in the current launcher window when the new version is ready.

The servers are currently down (at 9:15 AM PST) for a patch. I am updating the database and software that Xsyon depends on. This is the final preparation patch before I start rolling out new features including pets and mounts and many other upcoming improvements.

The servers may be down for several hours as there is a lot to upgrade and check today.

Enjoy!

Edit 9:00 PM PST: The Game Servers are working properly but I'm still working

I'm patching files today in preparation for upcoming updates, finally! These files will affect the Test Server build today and prepare the main servers for the changes to the creature system and other improvements.

The first public patch in the series of upcoming patches will simply be a switch to the upgraded database and basic code libraries that were necessary. I just need to run some final checks on the Test Server before making this first patch live.

I've completed migrating and upgrading the server to use the latest versions of dependent software and libraries (primarily MySQL and DirectX). This was a grueling task as the old code relied on intermediate libraries that I had to remove or rewrite.

I will run specific tests to make sure everything is in working order for the next few days. If everything checks out we'll return to public testing of pets, mounts and other upcoming features!
